New Here? Introduce Yourself

Discovered this place because while searching for steam curators focused on narrative games. Surprisingly I only one or two. This site has the best reviews by far. I would like to chat with all of you. I don’t know if you guys have a discord chatroom where you hang out and talk about games. But yeah, I also love these games. If anyone would like to add me on steam, this is me http://steamcommunity.com/id/SneakyJunky/

I love adventure games and just recently started replaying the classic ‘90s games. Recently have decided to start playing text adventures as well

Pleased to meet you all

You forgot to mention to the others that you’re one of the new writers here…

Shhhhh! I was trying to go incognito!

Haha, yes, As Tim says, I am trying my hand at writing reviews. I’ve written about games in the past but in a totally unrelated area of obscure science. I love adventure games and one day hopefully I can do a study to show that they make us all super intelligent!

Hehe, I agree. I think it’s a cool nickname. But I’ve always liked “adjective noun” types of names, especially if they *almost* make sense.
I still refer to the movie “Hollow Man” as “Invisible Bacon”, for instance.

I started playing adventure games around 1980 with titles like Pirate Adventure (on an Apple ][). Also, Colossal Cave running at the local university over a 300 baud modem. I don’t even know what that was running on, my dad had built the modem and set this up with his account. I want to say some VAX-based system but don’t remember.

I’m a programmer. These days focusing on functional. Haskell is a favorite language.

I play a variety of game types but always come back to adventure games. Relying on exploration and problem-solving as opposed to twitchy muscle skills or grindy levelling is delightful. I guess some might call it interactive fiction as well.

I’ve been lurking on AG for years, mostly to read the occasional review. I was here today reading about Gone Home and decided to get an account. I would like to contribute user reviews if time permits.
